Shopping List: 8-12 Weeks Old


Food (A proper raw diet is best however we use TLC which is mail ordered)

Treats- We recommend using their dry dog food as a treat. You do not need to buy special treats. The puppy will love whatever you give them.

Water dish

Large crate (*WITH a divider to adjust pup’s space as he grows).

Puppy training pads

Bedding (at least two sets)

Baby gates for sectioning off the house

Soft, small adjustable collar (and new ones as he grows)

4-6 Foot leash

Longer lead for training to come

5-6 safe chew toys (the more the better – toys can be rotated).

Soft bristle brush

Brush and sturdy metal comb

Gentle puppy shampoo

Good quality dog-nail trimmer and styptic powder or corn starch in case you cut too short (Please have a vet or vet tech teach you how to do this properly if you don't know how).
